Part++I+-+World+Literature

Part I of the course is where we will study literature which was originally written in a language other than English. This part of the course is designed to give you a wide range of literature from around the world.

The texts we will be studying are //One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich// by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, //The House of Spirits// by Isabel Allende and //Woman at Point Zero// by Nawal Al Sadaawi. I hope that these three texts will give you plenty of scope to find topics to write about in your comparative essay which you will write as the assessment for this part of the course. This comparative essay is known as World Lit 1, and will be sent to the IB for marking. You must come up with your point of comparison yourself, with some help from me. The 1500 word essay must be all your own work. Although I can guide you, I cannot edit or comment on anything other than your first draft.

We will, obviously, discuss this assessment task when we get to this section of the course, which will be after we have finished our Part IV works.
